Comments:
My first winter Stew Perry from Florida. I was reasonably pleased with my
result, considering that I am in the crummy station category, using a 65 ft wire
vertical with base loading coil, hidden in a nearby tree with a minimal ground
system, at our condo QTH. I had given some thought of trying to do some
operating from the Sarasota Bay salt water location, but with the (for Florida)
cold weather I just stayed at home.
QSOs become a challenge with the distance to activity centers, but the extra
points at least does not lead to score embarrassment. Only 3 two-point QSOs, vs.
32 four point and 30 six pointers. Best DX was N9RV - thanks to Pat for hanging
in there.
Down here it is also interesting to see who spends their time on their east-west
beverages. Several big guns up north were S9+ but not even a "?" for
my calls.
73 & Happy New Year to all!
Jim K8MR
